WILMINGTON — Jacksonville finished in third place Friday in the 12-team Wilmington High School tournament played at Wilmington Municipal Golf Course.

The Cardinals ended with a total score of 324, 12 behind champion Wilmington Christian.

Southwest finished tied for fourth with Laney at 332.

Jacksonville was led by Reggie Crews Jr., who shot a 75 after 18 holes. He lost a one-hole playoff to Cape Fear Academy’s Ross Robinson for the individual title. Ross birdied the par-4 No. 10 while Crews bogeyed the hole.

“Reggie played good. He just struggled with a bogey coming in on 17, which got him into the playoff,” JHS coach Reggie Crews, Sr. said. “We played good (as a team). Our two freshmen, Quentin Davis and Jake Whitehead, stepped up and helped us.”

The Cardinals next play at Carolina Pines on Monday.

Meanwhile, Southwest shared for fourth with Laney, a place that pleased SWO coach Phil Padgett. The Stallions were led by Nick Lisle’s 77 and Austin Tausch’s 83.

“We played real well and we are tickled,” Padgett said. “To shoot 332 in those conditions …, it was the longest course we’ve played all year. It was close to 6,900 yards.”
